Ditto on all the above. That FB is thin already. It is best to get everything right before you make adjustments. Even with getting an Ext. it is often best to put a 'full meat' thickness FB on to insure you don't have to do it later and then re-fit or replace the Ext.

Do it once and do it right. It's cheaper in the long run and I say that from experience.
